As part of the new regulation simplification process, Diamond Lake is now back to the Southwest Zone regulation of 5 trout/day.

Anglers that are planning on taking a trip to Diamond Lake should check with the Umpqua National Forest (541-498-2531) or Diamond Lake Resort for information on seasonal camp and ramp closures.

Diamond Lake is expected to be stocked with over 300,000 fingerling rainbow trout around ice-off in 2016, and there are plenty of legal-sized holdover trout currently in the lake. There have been some reports of successful ice fishing trips, but unsafe ice conditions have limited access recently. Ensure safe conditions before venturing onto the ice and review the 2016 Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations on ice fishing.

Anglers can check fishing and water conditions at Diamond Lake on the Diamond Lake Resort website, or call their toll free number at 1-800-733-7593, ext. 5 for updates.
